And of the proposed  Gateshead Western By-Pass By-Pass which was mooted a lot later than I remember (I thought it was '87ish, before the Newcastle Western By-Pass was constructed).

Cheers. That old A69 junction at The Angel was a lot different to how I remembered it. Trying to picture its positioning now versus the current road layout. 

And yeah, I remember the bypass for the bypass being mooted in the early 90s. Only a handful of years since the realignment of the A1 was completed.
